Learn about the Xiaomi Mi Laser Projector

The first feature that makes the Xiaomi Mi laser projector is its ability to create a 150-inch picture for a detailed and immersive movie watching experience or a fun gaming marathon. You’re able to adjust the picture size anywhere from 80 inches large to the full 150 inches. Imagine that beauty in your den or living room!

Even better yet, this giant image can be created with a short throw distance. Their ultra-short throw focal lens allows you to place this projector anywhere from 5 centimeters to 50 centimeters from your projector screen. You can choose to mount it to your ceiling or place it on an even and flat surface.

Mi delivers a theater quality picture not just because of the size of the picture but also because of the quality of the picture you receive. The native contrast ratio of the projector is 3000:1—much like what you see at the movies! The resolution is 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels.

This projector has a large range of color. They use a 5-stage color wheel technology to accomplish this advanced range whereas other projector brands only use either a 3- or 4-stage color wheel. This also provides red light ratios that are as high as 16% to 18%. The NTSC color range is at a whopping 85%.

They also use Advanced Laser Phosphor Display (ALPD) 3.0 laser light source technology by Appotronics. Appotronics is used by most theaters around the globe. This advanced laser technology creates vivid colors and fantastic contrast.

ALPD 3.0 laser technology works by using a blue laser that stimulates moving fluorescent materials. This, in turn, creates primary colors for the image. The colors and brightness created by this laser technology outdo even LED. It has 5000 lumens in brightness.

The ALPD 3.0 laser technology also ensures a lamp life of up to 25000 hours. This means you can view up to 25000 hours of movies on this projector without needing to replace the lamp of your projector.

Mi also incorporates DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology. The DMD chip for the Xiaomi Mi laser projector is a 5.4um chip that includes 2.07 of aluminum mirrors.

This unique technology uses a DMD (Digital Micromirror Device) chip. The DMD chip is an optical semiconductor that works by using aluminum mirrors. Every mirror in the chip is considered one pixel and reflects the light.

Unlike most projectors out there, Mi’s speakers are phenomenal. You won’t need to spend extra money on speakers. They use an inverted speaker tube. This supports DOLBY. These speakers are built-in dual full frequency and dual high-frequency fidelity too.

Mi even makes sure to prevent damage to your eyes from their laser. They use a sensor that can detect when you get too close to the laser. Once it detects your body coming close, the projector that lowers the laser’s brightness automatically.

They have even included an ergonomic remote control so you can easily change the settings you need to.

They have been able to compact all this amazing technology into a smaller and portable size. The projector even has several connection ports for you to utilize.
